Abstract
A flexible sterilized bag which easily unfolds to receive an x-ray cassette and is easily closed using a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating strip located around the bag. The bag is advantageously used in a surgical or operating room environment. The bag is composed of a sterilized bag portion, a cuff formed at the open end of the bag and a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating along the circumference near the open end of the bag. As the cassette is pushed into the bag the adhesive coating strip becomes reoriented so that the adhesive coating on one side of the bag directly faces the remaining adhesive coating on the other side of the bag. The open end of the bag is then sealed by simply pressing the opposing sides of the bag together at the location of the adhesive coating.
